Pairing participants is highly subjective, in my opinion, because it doesn't take into account the difference between the winner and the loser. For example:
1st pair: 3rd place/20th place
2nd pair: 18th place/15th place
Based on points, it will be 1-1. And what, would you say, are the teams equal?...
Switch the players and it will be 2:0 with the same results.
Pairing makes sense only when considering a "weight category," but we only have one.
Therefore, it is better to consider the average of the sum of each team's results...
